Jmxdc Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) So I built a home theater but now I need some audio. I was looking at the Klipsch RP line I was thinking 8000f floor speakers with RP-504c center and a couple sets of RP-502S for the sides. Is this too much for a room this size? I have 3 rows and the back two are tiered up 10". Edited January 21, 2021 by Jmxdc corrected spelling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Room is big enough. Any subwoofer desire? Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 A warm welcome here. This illustration shows the optimal combination for placement in your room. For the RP 8000 F Klipsch recommends the use of the RP 404 C center, the RP 600 M as rear speaker and the SPL 150 as sub. I don´t know whether this fits into your budget. RP 8000 F is .......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmxdc Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 I did get the SPL 150 on sale, actually that was just delivered today. I was holding out on the front center and surrounds until I did some more research. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmxdc Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Since I have 3 rows in my long room. Would it be best to put a surround next 2 each row? I was thinking about going with atmos speakers RP-500SA in the front and the rear eventually. Edited January 21, 2021 by Jmxdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may choose products from " EMOTIVA " for such a project. They got a fair price range of Pre and Modular Power Amps- Have a look on their web page https://emotiva.com/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to say that your front LCR is the wrong choice because of their size but I am going to highly encourage you getting at minimum another 15" subwoofer. You will have a difficult time pressurizing that room(near 4000ft3) so you can "feel" car crashes and bomb blasts. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
